CHEM 1006: Introduction to Forensics

Discover the differences between physical and chemical changes using common examples. Understand how sugar reacts in various scenarios, and how metals undergo changes, either maintaining their substance or forming new compounds.

This video provides insights into the concept of geometric isomerism in organic chemistry and explains why alkynes, which contain carbon-carbon triple bonds and adopt a linear structure, cannot exhibit this form of isomerism, unlike alkenes with double bonds that restrict rotation.

Compare the acidity of chromium trioxide (CrO?) and chromium (II) oxide (CrO) in water. Chromium trioxide forms strong chromic acid increasing hydronium ions, while chromium (II) oxide has weaker oxidizing properties, resulting in a less acidic solution.

Explore the distinction between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. Through real-world examples like baby oil, chocolate chip cookies, and wine, understand their uniformity, phases, and how components are distributed.
